Many people – particulary after they ate and drank too much at Christmas will decide to join a gym in the New Year. Maybe they even intend to go to the gym more than a few times. Few will though – that’s why gym’s make such good money out of those annual memberships – all those hundreds of dollars and most people don’t make it past February!
Dance classes are a much better idea though – and far more likely to see you dancing still at the end of the year. Why? Quite simple – gym’s are all about hard work and little to no social interaction – you have no time to meet the person next to you while you are on the treadmilll!
So here are my top 5 reasons why dance classes are better than gym memberships:
- Dance classes are far more varied – this is not only less boring – but its better for your body, your body will get used to any routine and gain less benefit from it – a dance class will mix up to the benefit of your body and your brain;
- Dance classes are actually social – you get to meet people and even converse not just clap along with the aerobics instructor!
- Dance classes mean you don’t have to wear heavy, uncomfortable gym shoes: depending on the dance style you chose you get to wear cute ballet slippers, elegant dance shoes or even nothing at all.
- Dance classes teach you an actual skill that you can use down the pub the next time the music is on – and give your self a work out while you thought you were just having fun!
- Dance classes rarely cause injuries – for all the warm up and cool down routines at the gym – I have far more torn muscles in the gym than in the dance floor.
